To a/ZZ whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, FRANZ LUDWIG P1110, a subject of the German Emperor,and a resident of Rodelheim, near Frankfort-on-the- Main, Germany, haveinvented a certain new and useful Improvement in Sticking- Plaster, ofwhich the following is a specification.

This invention relates to a plaster the novelty of which resides in thefeature that the various disks or sheets of plaster material consist ofa number of leaves or petals radiating from a core or heart. Bydistributing the disk or sheet into these specially-formed. patches orwafers, which can all be secured at a very narrow part, it is renderedpossible to readily separate each patch individually, it being onlynecessary to grip the same lightly, so that neither it nor theadjacentpieces are soiled. So that one may have at hand various sizes ofpatches, according to the intended use of the same, the various disksare made of various diameters and superposed with each disk above thenext larger one. The disks are secured to each other only at the centeror heart portions.-

In order that the one disk will not cover that below, which would renderthe pieces less accessible, the various disks are arranged in staggeredorder, so that the petals on one disk lie between the petals on the diskbeneath. As the disks of smallest diameter are on top, the wholearrangement resembles that of a flower.

Various embodiments of the invention are illustrated in the accompanyingdrawings.

Figures 1, 2, and 3 show three different forms of disks. Fig. 4 is aplan and Fig. 5 an end view showing the arrangement of superposed disks.

The plaster-disk shown in Fig. 1 comprises petals I), cut or stampedout, which are broadened toward their free ends, but taper toward thecentral core a, which joins together all the petals.

In Fig. 2 the patches 1) are shown stamped out in substantially circularform and are joined to the core a only by small tendinous pieces, whilethe core itself is the same size as the patches 1) and can also be used.

In Fig. 3 the patches b are shown stamped out in spear-shaped form, sothat they are curved almost equally at both ends, whereby it is likewisepossible to secure the same to the core a. at so narrow a part that itis easily possible to separate the various patches.

Fig. 4 shows five such disks of the kind shown in Fig. 1, which are heldtogether only at their cores (1, Fig. 5, by an adhesive carried byintermediate layers. The patches 1) of the various layers are superposedin staggered order, so that each patch can be readily seized at its freeouter end and be readily pulled or plucked from the core.

Having described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure byLetters Patent of the United States, is

1. A plaster made of a single piece of material and comprising a coreand radial petallike patches connected to said core by narrow stripswhereby said petals may be easily detached from the core.

2. A plaster consisting of an integral piece of material having portionscut therefrom so as to leave a center core and radial petal-like patchesconnected to said core by narrow strips whereby said petals may beeasily detached from the core, said core and patches being coated withan adhesive.

3. A plaster comprising a plurality of superposed disks connectedtogether, each disk consisting of an integral piece of material havingportions cut therefrom so as to leave a center core and radialpetal-like patches connected I to said core by narrow strips so thatsaid patches may be easily detached from the core, an adhesive coatingfor said core and patches the patches of one disk lying between thepatches of the disk beneath.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in thepresence of two subscribing witnesses.
